CONTRIBUTIONS

As part of the statewide Aloha For Philippines relief effort,
Hawaii’s banks have teamed up to accept contributions for disaster victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

From now until December 31, customers will be able to donate money at any branch of every bank on every island,
providing Hawaii residents hundreds of safe, convenient and trusted locations to make contributions.

Donors will have a choice of designating their contributions to one of two nonprofit organizations:

The Filipino Community Center (FilCom Center) will contribute their donations to the Consuelo Foundation, who will match every dollar, up to $2 million. The Counsuelo Foundation is currently responding to immediate recovery needs in the affected areas through their partners and affiliates. Their core long term strategy is to work to rebuild communities in ways that create safe and healthy environments for children and families.

Please make checks payable to
“Filipino Community Center – Aloha For Philippines.”

The American Red Cross is part of the world’s largest humanitarian network. American Red Cross donations will be used to purchase and distribute relief items such as food, blankets, hygiene kits, and mosquito nets, repair and rebuild shelters, provide health care, ensure access to clean water and sanitation systems, and provide cash grants for use when markets begin functioning normally.
